January Memories

A January morning you came to my life..

as a gentle ray of light and warmth

seasons of time we had coloured with love..

the memories of which makes me glow

Now as I lie, lost in pain

with needles piercing my flesh and vein

It isn't the death that frightens me

it is the fear of losing you..

I can hear your racing heart,

pleading me not to part..

I can feel the river of tears,

wetting your cheeks and burning my soul..

Machines may be breathing for me,

but it is your heart that beats for me..

How I wish I could open my eyes,

and assure you I would be right back..
